Has the company confirmed that 'BA Express' would be LHR based?
A much more likely outcome to a no vote IMHO would be the creation of BA Express at LGW with terms and practices that allow it to compete with easyjet on bucket and spade routes - the company could then been seen to allow LGW pilots to 'choose' to move to LHR on mainline terms or stay but on BA Express terms.
Some people on this forum seem to think that a pilots salary alone can turn an airline from legacy to low - cost, a lot more needs to change at BA SH LHR than just pilot salaries and with the slots, capacity constraints, and BA's need to align connections at LHR I don't see that happening.
And the fact no low cost operater put a bid in for BMI means the industry can't see it as a viable option either.
